Here's a simple way to check if potential hearing
aid clients have a hearing loss!!
Barry feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she
used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.
Not quite sure how to approach her on such a
delicate subject he called the family Doctor to discuss the
problem.
The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test
the husband could perform to give the Doctor a
better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do,"
said the Doctor.
"Stand about 50 feet away from her, and in a
normal
conversational speaking tone see if she hears you.
If not go to 40 feet, then 30 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening , the wife is in the kitchen cooking
dinner and he was in the den. He says to himself, "
I'm about 50 feet away, let's see what
happens"
Then in a normal tone he asks, "Honey what's for dinner ?"
No response
So Barry moves closer to the kitchen about 40
feet from Joan and repeats "Honey what's for dinner?"
Still no response.
So he walks up closer to his wife and repeats "Honey what's for dinner?"
Again there is no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet
away. "Honey what's for dinner?"
Again there's no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
(I love this)
"BARRY, for the FIFTH F-IN' time, CHICKEN!"
